Jarmin blog: Revolutionizing Economic Measurement at the Census Bureau [ [link removed] ]

"Written by Census Bureau Deputy Director Dr. Ron S. Jarmin"

I recently had the privilege of speaking at conferences honoring two economists who’ve made huge contributions to the profession and, most importantly for this blog, to the U.S. Census Bureau. Mark Roberts of Penn State University and John Haltiwanger of the University of Maryland and their colleagues used Census Bureau data to change how economists and policymakers view the economy and how the Census Bureau measures it. Beyond their scientific contributions, both Mark and John have served the Census Bureau in variety of roles.

*A Turning Point in Economic Research*

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Census Bureau’s Center for Economic Studies (CES) became an epicenter for groundbreaking research that would reshape how economists understand business and labor market dynamics. Mark and John, as visiting researchers, played central roles in this transformation. Their influential work along with collaborators continues to inform economic thought and policy, catalyze countless follow-on studies in the U.S. and abroad, and has been referenced in Nobel Prize citations.
